I've been trying to just stick with collecting Classic/Universe to fill my fix...
hmm what to do LOL

Most likely Binaltech Black Convoy used the diecast parts originally created for Ginrai.
Meanwhile, Takara probably never created any diecast molds for the Ford GT, which is why BT Rijie was released as a clear all plastic version instead. | You beat me to it, bud.  Quote:

I don't know why so many give the Alt Prime such a hard time. I think it is an excellent figure and has perhaps the best Prime head ever released. | QFT. However, I don't think TakaraTomy's "test" did as well as they had hoped. Now keep in mind that remark is sans discussion of the "test" for Binal Tech itself (  ). It just seems to me that a "relaunch" of the BT line isn't going to happen. However, I've been wrong before and will be again in the future too. Quote:

. . . though I have to say that the surfboard/blade is really cool though. Quote:

I like how stocky the mold looks with no modification and I like how the leg mod makes it look a bit taller and slimmer. To me, it's win either way.

I have to say I'm surprised no one has commented on how well the box looks. Takara nor TakaraTomy had a box made for this mold. The box would have to be a tad bigger just to contain him. I was a bit fearful that they were going to go all BT-17 on us and give us one fishbowl package. I'm really glad they didn't. | |

I have no problems doing the mod I just hate to cut into a $50 plus figure
